I feel like the editing stopped around the 70% mark which is super confusing. Weird skips and confusing sentences with what i think are mixed up POVs.

Still having a lot of fun but forever longing for publishers to hire enough editors and pay them a damn living wage!!!!

Ok but Jordan so who everyone wanted the dude form the last book o read to be.

I LOVE HIM AND HIA FLAWS SO MIXH

I simply cannot wrap my head around choosing to live like this. Manipulating every second of your life for the plot. I’m glad the book doesn’t shut away from how messed up it is—and how it messes up the people involved too.

“In the depths of her burned out despair, he’d been the light beckoning her back to the surface. He was in her system now, liek a fever she’d never sweat out. She thought about him more than she should but less than she wanted, in every way imaginable.”

Like!!!! 🥹

No but see i don’t think YOU understand how down bad this man is.

“Every day there was more to lock away every day she’d done something worth remembering. Every day she made him feel like a besotted sea captain, honored to go down with his doomed ship.”

ARE YOU KIDDING ME RN?!

The tension are you kidding me?!

“Starting [with a kiss] was a bad idea, definitely. She’s be fine. He’d be ruined.”

AHHHHHH

He’s made lists of her favorite foods, her skincare, potential discussion topics, expressions.

LIKE HELLO?! This man is down so bad and i am obsessed

“He was standing right next to her, supervising over her shoulder, but he was also, inexplicably, under her skin.”

LFGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!

Wow his family is horrible and i hate them and even if they started good i find it impossible to believe that selling their stories for so long hasn’t fundamentally changed them (and not for the better). 🤷🏻‍♀️

I like the MCs’ chemistry and honesty though. Especially after my last read.
